Hi,
I've noticed some apps stay "alive" when minimised, and other apps are automatically closed by Android. Is there a flag or something that must be set to keep them alive? (I know Android can close background apps to free up resources, but testing shows this is not an issue).

You can lock a particular application from multitasking tray to keep it running in the background.

Hi @RazaShaikh, Let me know how to do? Do you have any examples in github? I'm struggling about this issue more than a week.

I think what @RazaShaikh means should be the APP locking.

Run your app, then tap the Recent key.
Tap the lock icon on the upper-right corner of your APP to lock it.

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.
